Great adviced! , you just forgot to say that in order the rpogram allow you to save the new file, you must open dreamweaver as “administrator” and there open the InsertOfficeDoc.js, I was trying to save it and it was not possible until I close DW and open again as administrator.

I do not recall getting an access denied error like that. However, here are a few things you may want to try: #1 Make sure Dreamweaver is not running when you save the modified .js file. #2 If using Notepad to make the changes, then try starting Notepad as Administrator. This can be done by “Right clicking” on the Notepad start menu entry then choosing “Run as Administrator”. Sometimes opening Notepad in this manner will then allow you to open/edit/save files that otherwise would be denied.

Another method of saving the revised file if access is denied (on Windows 7, here): (Tip: Close DW before making a change to the .js, so that the .js file can’t be in use.)

1) In Windows Explorer, right-click the file, select Properties 2) Select the Security tab 3) Under “Groups or user names” make sure that each name listed has Full control. If not, click Edit, then select the name (likely “Users”), then next to “Full control” select the checkbox “Allow”. 4) Click OK then OK (i.e., click OK to accept and close each open window of this step).

Does anyone have any idea what needs to change to get version 8 to accept large .doc files? (The document I would like to get is 150+ pages with 8 columns each …. I really don’t want to have to re-type it into Dreamweaver.

I spent half a day trying to paste in various ways and having no success, just because I had added one line to my spreadsheet. Eventually found this tip and Bingo! I can import my spreadsheet again! Thanks you so much

4. Move the copied file “InsertOfficeDoc.js” to that “Commands” folder, edit it as suggested, and save. You should not have any permissions difficulties, as you own this copied file and everything else in your home folder.

5. Launch DW and try your paste operation again. The new larger limit you set should be in effect.

This works because of a feature that’s been baked in to DW for a long time: any command file in the user’s home folder overrides a command file of the same name in the DW application folder. You don’t have to risk the integrity of your application.
